North Korea: Donald Trump's false flag?

After
years of threatening to carry out a nuclear attack on the United
States, North Korea is finally closer than it has ever been to
fulfilling its notorious threat—according to politicians and
mainstream media outlets across the country. But according to one
geopolitical analyst, Americans should be more concerned about the
possibility of a false flag attack.

In
a report for Asia Times, analyst Pepe Escobar noted that the same
people who are now saying that North Korea has created a miniaturized
nuclear warhead capable of fitting its recently tested ICBM are the
people who sold the lie that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass
destruction in Iraq.

“Western
corporate media would hardly refrain from metastasizing pure
speculation into a ‘North Korea has miniaturized nuclear weapons’
frenzy consuming the cable news cycle/ newspaper headlines,”Escobar
wrote, noting that the latest rumors about North Korea’s nuclear
capabilities stem from a recent report from Japan’s Defense
Ministry that is based entirely on speculation.

“So
let’s look at the agendas in play. The War Party in the US, with
its myriad connections in the industrial-military-media complex,
obviously wants/needs war to keep the machinery oiled. Tokyo, for its
part, would much appreciate a pre-emptive US military attack—and
damn the inevitable, massive South Korean casualties that would
result from Pyongyang’s counterpunch.

It’s
quite enlightening that Tokyo, for all practical purposes, considers
China as a ‘threat’ as serious as North Korea; Defense Minister
Itsunori Onodera went straight to the point when he said, ‘North
Korea’s missiles represent a deepening threat. That, along with
China’s continued threatening behavior in the East China Sea and
South China Sea, is a major concern for Japan.’ Beijing’s
response was swift.”

One
of the most important points Escobar makes is that “The War Party,”
or the U.S. military industrial complex, “wants/needs war to keep
the machinery oiled.” Because of this, Escobar warned that
Americans should “Beware of an engineered false flag, to be blamed
on Pyongyang; that would be the perfect pretext for war.”

Indeed,
the war drums are already having a steroid-like effect on the bottom
lines of weapons companies with Lockheed Martin breaking all time
stock market records.

In
addition to being a large opium producer, Escobar also noted that
North Korea ”holds trillions of US dollars in unexplored mineral
wealth.” He warned that Americans should “Watch the shadow play
by candidates bound to profit from such juicy loot.”

Hogwash! If N. Korea is Trump's defining moment, then the banksters that want into that country will be happy!...

As
The Free Thought Project reported,
another important aspect to note is that while North Korea has been
threatening to show the world its true nuclear power for more than a
decade, the U.S. has enabled and funded the nation’s actions for
more than half a century. As a result, “if
North Korea does ever launch a nuke, it will be because the U.S.
government and its assets helped to put it in their hands.”

The
fact that the U.S. government and the mainstream media have come
together to promote the “imminent threat” of North Korea carrying
out a nuclear attack on the U.S., serves a reminder of another time
when the two entities united to push a propaganda campaign that got
the U.S. into a war it is still fighting 14 years later.

Despite
dire warnings from both politicians and MSM pundits that Hussein had
weapons of mass destructions in Iraq, a classified report that was
leaked in January 2016 confirmed that
there was absolutely no evidence of WMDs. It also served as a
reminder of the “utter
deception carried out on the American people to support the
invasion.”

At
the end of the day, if the U.S. was truly concerned about North Korea
launching a nuclear attack, then it would not have been funding the
nation’s actions in the first place, and the supposed imminent
threats would be based on more than just speculative reports. If
there are reports of such an attack, it is important to remember how
well false flags—such as Iraq’s WMDs—have worked for the U.S.
War Machine in the past.
